I use it anytime I crochet slippers for someone extra grip is always good, it cuts down on the static electricity from crocheted slippers too.

As to other uses for fabric paint….my littles and I up-cycled old cd-roms by decorating the silver side with fabric paint (practice on paper towel FIRST!) not too thick or it takes ages to dry, then hot glue a loop of ribbon on the back of one and finally, glue two decorated cds, ugly sides together, and hang…perfect as lovely sun catchers in the window, or as a theme decoration for a holiday (we used it as christmas ornaments).

…..We also use fabric paint to mark the size of sheets in our linen closet. Makes it easier for the kids to grab the corresponding size without upsetting the entire stack.

Great idea! We have very steep stairs and most of the time my kids don’t wear socks in the house because they slip going up and down the stairs if they do. This would be a great and fun solution. 🙂 I’m pinning this; thanks!

This is so smart! Thank you for sharing this great tutorial. I wanted to let you know that I have added this project to my What Can You Make with a Pair of Socks Round Up. If you would rather I delete your project from this round up please let me know.

I tried this on a whim yesterday with puffy paint thinking the extra dimension would help with grip but it actually made the socks MORE skippy and now I’ve ruined three pairs of socks 🙁 I’m a lil apprehensive to try slick paint as it sounds like it would have its namesake effect as well 😛
